Isha Philips from Jamaica: Self-Care Day initiative at Nain High School
“The purpose of this initiative is to promote the overall well-being of students by creating awareness about the importance of self-care, personal hygiene, and mental health. Many students face challenges that affect their ability to attend school regularly and confidently, including limited access to essential hygiene products. Input from student leaders made it clear that addressing hygiene-related barriers is a critical step toward improving student well-being, academic performance, and school attendance.” – Isha Philips
Naomy Chepkemoi from Kenya: The Olmekenyu Drops of Dignity – Restoring Life Through Water
“The need for this project did not come from the outside – it was identified directly by the people of Olmekenyu themselves. For years, the community has struggled with limited and unsafe water, and the health center, which serves as the lifeline for hundreds of families, currently depends on just one unfiltered tank. This tank often runs dry, and the water it stores is not safe for patients, newborns, or even basic sanitation.
This project proposes a simple, immediate, and sustainable solution: a rainwater harvesting and storage system at Olmekenyu Health Centre. Using locally available materials we will capture and store clean rainwater for use in the clinic and the surrounding community. A simple gravel-and-charcoal filter will improve quality, while a local Water & Hygiene Committee will be trained to manage the system, ensure its upkeep, and protect it as a community resource.” – Naomy Chepkemoi
Thi Kim Hang Ho from Vietnam: Mekong Youth Climate Policy Lab
“The Mekong Youth Climate Policy Lab (MYCPL) is an initiative designed to strengthen youth leadership in one of the most climate-vulnerable regions of the world. The Mekong Delta, home to over 20 million people, faces severe climate threats – saltwater intrusion, flooding, and agricultural loss. These crises demand urgent action. MYCPL addresses this gap by equipping young leaders with knowledge, research skills, and practical experience in policy engagement. This project is not only about training youth; it is about giving them the tools and the voice to shape the future of their communities.” – Thi Kim Hang Ho
